Packard parts in Europe

Hello to all Packard enthusiasts!
My first post here so I am a bit stressed.
Please forgive me my poor English.
I recently acquired a 1951 Packard 200 that had been sitting for about 55 years.
First thing to check was / is the engine.
I was very surprised that the engine had not seized up however, a few exhaust valves were stuck in the guides. So I took the manifolds and valve covers of to get to the valves. Free'd the valves.
The question is, where can I find new gaskets for the different components?
Tried " Kanter " but got no reaction what so ever. Send them an e-mail and an order form. Have been waiting for a week now so I am (very)disappointed.
Tried "Rockauto" but they do not have the gaskets.
Any suggestions?
I live in Belgium / Flanders so Packards are rather unique over here, let alone finding spare parts.
Thank you all for any tips!
Greetings from Flanders
